WHO DRAWS THE PRHZEa
The Meeting Of the Grand Jury TO-
Day Causes Excitement.

The grand jury meets again this morning,
after resting for several weeks, and if ru
mors are correct there are lively times in
store for some of the unfortunates who
have come under notice of the honorable
body. Besides the persons now confined,
there are old warrants still out against per-
sons who were not arrested when tile jury
met last time. 1t is confidently expected
that no less than thirty indictments will be
returned against persons now at liberty.
1t was stated yesterday afternoon that
spoilers" had been around all day
hunting up open saloons and collecting
evidence against the proprietors. but no
one claimed to have any definite knowledge
on the subject, and but one or two saloons
were open. Nearly all the keepers of
houses of prostitution left the city last
evening and those vino did not 60 then

genial chimes until the storm blows over.
1t is extremely probable that new indict-
ment will be returned against the gamblers,
who some time since pleaded guilty and
were fined $500 each. Since then the houses
have been running with no concealment
whatever, and any one who desired could
go in and win or lose, the latter, probably
In case this firm is indicted, an effort will
be made to indct the smaller places scat
tered throughout the city, and which the
police have as yet been unable to gain in
formation against, because no one will
make complaint when he is ''feeced -
Some of the blind pig" keepers indicted at
the last session of the grand jury are said
to have returned to the practice, and they,
probably, will be also indicted.

THE PATROL LINE BILL.
A Measure Meeting General Oppose
ton and Which will Never ass.

The Petit bill perpetuating the Mime
apolis patrol limits by statute. now pend
ing before the legislature, has been laid over
by the Hennepin delegation. The predic-
tion is freely made that the bill will never
pass the delegation and will never become a
law. 1t is not a partisan political measure,
though it was the direct outgrowth of the
PillSbury administration, and has been de-
nounced alike by Democrats, Republicans
and Prohibitionists as baneful, unjust and
fanatical. The patrol line is an arbitrary
measure which says q legitimatized bust
ness may be carried on on one side of a
street and not on another, making legiti-
mate the saloon business of one man and
declaring illegal the same business of his
neighbor. 1t is severely denounced
by the Prohibitionists and has driven
into their ranks many Repub-
licans. while it is regarded with
disfavor by liberal Republicans and Demo
Gratis without party regard. The line has
been changed to reward political friends
and punish political enemies, by admitting
or excluding them. as the case may be. 1t
has always been the means Of discriminating
against the saloonkeeper within its
limits by building up an illegal
traffic on the outside. from which the
city derives no venue. This ordinance,
instead of allowing a wise discretion as to
saloon location, permits the traffic to be
carried on everywhere within the limits,
without further question. yet fills the resi-
dence district with illegal saloons. and con-
verts half the outlying stores into whisky
shops. 1t is hypocritical. fsnatieal and I'M
just, and will never be saddled upon Min

STUMBLING BLOCKS.
Sermon by Rev. VI. I'D. shutter a
Church of Redeemer.

Text: LET us not therefore judge one
another any more, but judge ye this rather
that no man put stumbling block in his
brothers way or an occasion for falling"
Rom. xiv, Is.
The text comes from the well-known dis
cussion about eating meat offered to Idols
and observing the Jewish Sabbath. Paul
sa; S: Let every man be fully persuaded in
his own mind" Individual consciences must
decide. and no man may judge his brother.
Yet we are to use our liberty in such way
as not to cause others-especially the weak
to stumble. What they have no right to de-
mand, the strong have the privilege to give.
What justice may not exact, love may freely
bestow. Our own whims and pleasures may
any time be cast aside if thereby we may
render help to some struggling soul That
man is miniature OF God who uses his power
to bless. What is the real problem of the
weak! They are to grow. What is
the mission of the strong? To
give the weak the impulse that
will make them grow. The weak are to be
cared for-not that they may always he weak.
but thar they may develop their possibilities
OF strength. The common impression is that
in order to avoid placing stumbling blocks,
we must not do or say anything that the weak
brother can strike his foot against; that moth

ignorant TO discriminate between good aud
evil, what is beneficial and what injurious.
Healing mans lameness is better tn an pick

to sickness is not catching the disease,
but providing remedy; to ignorance
not concession, but enlightenment;
to bgotry not narrowing ones self, but
smashing the windows of its tenement that
sunlight and air may enter. We must teach
them to help themselves. That sympathy is
hest which has in it a stimulus. Our duty is not
done when we have wept with the unfortu-
nate. Never let any man feel that he is for
ever crushed. Do not let him swamp the
ruins of his hopes with unavailng tears; pull
him out of the debris and turn his face to-
wards something better.
We help the weak when we teach them that
they have responsibilities of their own. After
all, no soul can stand between us and God;
no church can mediate. Responsibility is not
to be shifted. Tempters mag solicit, but we are

THE PEOPLE WILL PROTEST.
A Mass Meeting of Lab0ring Men
will Oppose Proposed Lesisla-


A mass meeting of citizens without re-
gard to political prediction will be held
within few days to protest against some
of the legislation proposed to be requested
in behalf of the city. Among the radical
changes in the charter which will be pro-
posed are several that have no political
bearing whatever, but which are held to
threaten the rights OF the people, and it is
against these that the protest will be made.
The laboring men are at the head of the
movement and are now waiting for devel-
Opments, as some of the measures proposed
are in such crude form that the exact OBJ
ject cannot be told. The board of public
works eXcites much interest, the more that
the matter was rushed through the council
the other night over the protests of several
members, and in spite of the fact that
no one was at all familiar with the details
of the plan. The scheme seems to have
been carefully cooked up in back office on
Washington avenue, and then introduced
to the council committee by one of its mem
bers. Certain sweeping changes are pro-
posed, and against these there will be such
remonStrance that the legislature cannot
but heed. A board of public works has
many commendable features, but this one,
as proposed, will be warmly antag0nZed.
The police commission scheme, though
apparently only backed by that geological
collection, the board of trade, was also
carefully Matched up in the same back office
and then worked off on the board of trade
as an original measure Still another
scheme is brewing, which contemplates the
formation of a fire and police commission
which shall control the appointments in
both departments. This will be sprung in
due time and an effort made to rush it
through the legislature.
The board of trades street commissioner
scheme runs counter to the councils board
Of public works idea and will probably
meet shipwreck. 1t is the more objection
able of the two and has failed to meet ap-
prOval anywhere. Little attention was paid
it and it now receives less since the council

These three ideas will be warmly combated
by the public meeting. The legislation in

There is one other scheme that is purely
partisan and has not yet been publicly an
nounced. 1t proposes to change the time

as to have it occur at the general election.
This is Republican plan, pure and simple
to endeayor to retain control of the city,
hoping to benefit from the drawing of party
lines at the general election. Like all of
the Others it is the last gasp of the Repub-
lican party-the last desperate snatch at
the power which is surely passing away,

1t is a settled fact that work will be begun
on the new First National bank building as
soon as the season opens. The tenants OF the
